Monster Cookies

These Monster Cookies are the perfect combination of chewy, sweet, and loaded with delicious goodies like chocolate chips, M&M's, and peanut butter. They're easy to make and a hit with kids and adults alike!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 4 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup M&M's candies
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional

Instructions:

Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on baking sheets

Mix the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a big bowl until the mixture is smooth and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

Mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add this dry mixture to the butter mixture that has been creamed, mixing just until everything is combined

Add the peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and chopped nuts if using and mix until everything is well mixed

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets that have been prepared

Leave some space between each cookie

After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to wire racks to cool all the way

After the Monster Cookies have cooled, put them in a container that won't let air in

This will keep them fresh

Have fun with these tasty, chewy Monster Cookies!
